(cheers and applause) now we weren't always successful at bain. but no one ever is in the real world of business. that's what this president doesn't seem to understand. business and growing jobs is about taking risk, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding but always striving. it's about dreams, usually it doesn't work out exactly as you might have imagined. steve jobs was fired at apple. and then he came back and changed the world. it'
